Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pantoporia cama sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 324th most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pantoporia cama in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months. Those are among Taipei's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 90 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pantoporia cama sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Pantoporia cama sightings, Taipei ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taichung (Taiwan, about 10%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Pantoporia cama that you can see in Taipei (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Common Mapwing (about 20%), Common Palmfly (about 20%) and Great Eggfly (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pantoporia cama is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (27 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
